The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Although Yang Ling really wanted to move all the people in Baoying to a safe place, but his current strength was limited, even if they were moved away, there would not be enough food for these people.

So they did not force the people to evacuate, but they just mobilized the people in Baoying City to go north to Huaiyin controlled by the guerrillas as much as possible, or go to the countryside to join relatives, and then go home after the limelight passes.

Some of the people who had witnessed the atrocities committed by the devils packed up their bags and moved in with the troops, or went to the countryside to take refuge temporarily.

However, a considerable number of people still did not evacuate Baoying, and Yang Ling did not force them to evacuate.

Yang Ling didn't believe that the devils would dare to slaughter the people of Baoying against the disgrace of the world. If the devils dared to massacre the people of Baoying on a large scale, Yang Ling would also leave a message to warn the little devils.

That is, if a commoner in northern Jiangsu died under the knife of a devil, then their Northern Subei Corps would not let it go, and would kill a devil to take revenge until all the devils were killed. Their Subei Corps would do what they said.

"Sir, then let's go, we will follow your order, save ourselves and beat the devils hard!"

Outside Baoying City, teams of brothers lined up into the rain, and beside the road, the battalion commanders said goodbye to Yang Ling one after another.

In the past, they fought side by side and lived and died together, but now they have to go out to fight alone.

In these turbulent years, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, and now, no one knows what the next meeting will be like.

Every separation during the war years was like parting from life to death, and the brothers all seemed very depressed.

"You must lead the troops well, and at the same time attack the devils in various ways, and attack the devils. If you have any difficulties, you can send someone to tell me. I will try my best to help you."

When Yang Ling saw the troops leaving one after another, he was also reluctant to give up, but he also knew that if these young eagles were not let go, they would still be unable to fly in the sky.

"Fight well, I am waiting for news of your victory."

Seeing the depressed mood of the brothers, Yang Ling squeezed out a smile, patted their shoulders, and comforted them one by one.

"Don't worry, sir, we will never embarrass the Northern Subei Corps or our Chinese soldiers!" The battalion commander and deputy battalion commanders raised their hands in unison and saluted Yang Ling in the rain.

"Okay, look forward to the day we meet!" Yang Ling also raised his hand in return.

"Sir, take care!"

"Brothers take care!"

After a brief farewell, the battalion commanders got on their horses one after another. The horseshoes splashed muddy water, and they and the troops disappeared into the rain.

Yang Ling sent the battalion commanders and their brothers away one by one, but in the end only the brothers of the fifth battalion and the general guard company remained where they were.

Yang Ling and the general headquarters of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps will also evacuate to the vicinity of Liubao Town to hide, and they will act together with Liu Zhi's fifth battalion.

"Sir, can we go?"

Seeing that all the battalions had left, Liu Zhi, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, came over to ask for instructions.

Yang Ling withdrew his gaze, nodded and said, "Order the troops to turn to Liubao Town."

"Yes!" Fifth Battalion Commander Liu Zhi responded, then ran into the rain and fog and shouted.

"The first company leads the way with the guide, the second company, the third company and the machine gun company set off in sequence, and the fourth company is in charge of the rear... Let's go!"

Soon, the assembled brothers of the Fifth Battalion also marched in the direction of Liubao Town under the yelling of the officers.

"I'm really not reconciled. Baoying hasn't warmed it up just now, so I'm going to hand it over to the devil." Staff officer Lei Xiong looked back at the city gate full of people who were seeing people off, and sighed heavily.

"We call retreat to advance, let's let the little devil play for a few days, this treasure is still our Chinese after all, we will fight back sooner or later!" Liu Sheng, the staff officer, clenched his fists and echoed.

"Yes, Lao Liu is right. We will call back sooner or later."

Looking at the people who were seeing off the people standing in the heavy rain, Yang Ling's mood was extremely complicated.

This time they took down Baoying, and the people in the city cheered for joy, celebrating their recovery of Baoying.

But instead of bringing peace and tranquility to the people, they attracted the bombing of the devils, causing countless casualties to the people, and now they have to evacuate.

I'm afraid that the people in Baoying City are very disappointed with their Subei Corps. Yang Ling thought so, and he shook his head and sighed. He felt sorry for the people in Baoying who were full of expectations.

"Sir, theater command telegram."

Just when Yang Ling was in a low mood, staff officer Du Jiang ran over, dripping wet, took out a telegram from the rain cloth package and handed it to Yang Ling.

"The commanders of the war zone told us to stick to Baoying, hold back the devils, and wait for friendly troops to encircle and wipe out this devil... What should we do?" Staff officer Du Jiang asked Yang Ling with a serious expression.

Yang Ling thought for a while and said, "Call back to the officers. Our department is exhausted after repeated battles, and it is really difficult to resist the devil's onslaught. In order to avoid more casualties, we temporarily retreat to avoid their edge and evacuate from Baoying. I hope all the officers will see clearly."

"But this is disobedience. If the officers are angry..." Du Jiang didn't say the next sentence, but Yang Ling could guess.

"The commander's orders are not accepted. The officers don't know the situation on the battlefield. I, the captain, know that. I am responsible for the lives of my brothers. Go and call back. I will take care of it if something happens."

"Yes."

Although the staff officer, Du Jiang, wanted to say something, but seeing Yang Ling's firm attitude, he finally hesitated and turned around to call back.

Text 140 Chapter Nine Rainy Night Raid

Although the mighty army commanded by the leader of the Devils Detachment, Hisashi Watanabe, successfully captured Baoying's southern gate, Jieshou, the army suffered a lot of losses and did not take advantage of it, which made him extremely unwilling.

Although it was raining continuously and the roads were muddy, Shouichi Watanabe, the leader of the devil's detachment, did not intend to wait for the rain to stop, but prepared to continue commanding the troops to attack Baoying.

The leader of the Devil's Detachment, Mr. Watanabe, is a cruel and cunning commander. His troops pretended to be rectified in Jieshou because of the heavy rain, but in fact they kept secret.

After only a day's rest in Jieshou, he ordered the Takahashi Infantry Brigade to replace the forward position of the Yamazaki Infantry Brigade, set off after dark, and under the cover of night, made a detour to rush to Baoying.

The Takahashi Infantry Brigade is a full-staffed reorganized brigade. Unlike the rest of the infantry brigades, it is composed of heavy soldiers, engineers, and supplementary troops. The Takahashi Infantry Brigade is all supplementary soldiers mobilized from China, and its combat effectiveness is relatively strong.

Since the devils captured Wuhan, the entire front line has been stretched, and the area under control has expanded, so that the troops are stretched.

Just like what the Chinese Army Command said, the devils are too greedy to swallow their imaginations, and now because the front line is too long, it's a mess.

The devils have mobilized for war several times in the country, and more people have invested in the barracks for military training, becoming a supplementary soldier who can be transferred to the battlefield at any time.

At the beginning of the war, the more than a dozen standing divisions of the devils were fierce and powerful, but with a large number of supplementary soldiers added to each combat unit, the combat effectiveness is not as good as before.

In the battle in Jiangsu, these devil's supplementary soldiers had to take on the main force of the battle, fighting against the Chinese guerrillas and regular troops.

Although the soldiers of the Takahashi Infantry Brigade were all supplementary soldiers, the officers and non-commissioned officers were all drawn from the field troops, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

The Yamazaki Infantry Brigade was hit badly by the hands of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. It almost lost the ability to fight independently and had to be replaced to rest.

And with the lessons learned from the Yamazaki Infantry Brigade, the Takahashi Infantry Brigade now has a long-term understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Subei Corps, and no longer dare to underestimate the enemy.

If they were to attack Baoying along the established route, they would definitely encounter heavy resistance along the way and end up in the same embarrassment as the Yamazaki Infantry Brigade.

Therefore, the Gaoqiao Infantry Brigade went uncharacteristically and prepared to take advantage of the cover of heavy rain and night to detour to Baoying to launch a surprise attack in order to win.

The devil has always been proud and arrogant, thinking that he is invincible in the world, but now he has to tuck his tail, in order to win victory, he doesn't care about his image.
